Research Description
Dr. Prior is codirector of the Electronic Radiology Laboratory (ERL) within the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine. The primary focus of the laboratory and of Dr. Prior's research is biomedical informatics, adding the imaging component to bio-informatics. The laboratory has developed a suite of software tools and procedures to support multicenter clinical trials and is currently serving as the imaging and quality assurance core for three trials. The laboratory also has major ongoing efforts in the areas of tools and validation strategies for integrating healthcare information systems, research information management systems, and image processing and analysis.

Dr. Prior's personal research is in the areas of research information management and image and signal processing. He is currently working on systems to manage a research imaging facility and approaches to information fusion and data mining. In addition he is involved in active collaboration that is looking at new ways to analyze and visualize EEG data.
